The Jharkhand government has successfully brought back 11 out of 47 workers who were stuck in Cameroon, a country in central Africa. The Chief Minister, Hemant Soren, directed officials to ensure the safe return of all the stranded workers.
Recently, many workers from Jharkhand complained that they hadn’t been paid for three months, which led the state government to take action. They filed complaints against a company based in Mumbai and some middlemen responsible for sending the workers to Africa without proper registration.
The Labour Department helped the 11 returning workers reach their homes safely. Meanwhile, efforts continue to bring back the remaining 36 workers. The state government has started the process to ensure these workers receive their unpaid wages, totaling about ₹39.77 lakh.
The Labor Commissioner lodged reports at local police stations after hearing the workers’ complaints. The government has also contacted the Ministry of External Affairs to help with the return of all workers.
